A Bird in the Bush is Worth Two in the Hand?

Errr, well, because I obviously don't have one bird in the hand to have two in the bush. :P Or should I have called this a pigeon(?) in a camellia tree? I don't know if I want two turtle doves?

In all seriousness, does anyone know what kind of bird I've got in my tree?

Occasionally when I water my plants I also spray the leaves on the trees to clean them. One such time, a bird literally flew out of my camellia tree. Odd. That's never happened before.

Then the next time I watered my plants, again a bird flew out.

OK, I'm a little slow. So I finally peered inside the tree and what do I see but a bird sitting on a nest. Are there eggs? Don't birds hatch in the spring? I haven't the heart to spray the tree again to see. Except for the two times that I accidentally sprayed water on the bird, it has sat in that same exact spot. Through triple digit temperatures. I don't even know if it leaves to get food.

Still waiting. The bird waiting for its eggs to hatch. Me waiting to see what happens. Will you wait with us?
